This place has a reputation for great food. The long line to get in is a testament to that fact. Once inside, you won't be disappointed...just "stuffed" when you leave. ;-)

If I posted a review for every time I have gone to Walker Brothers, you would think I am an employee. The reason I return is service, food and prices. The menu is outstanding and I only have about 10 favorites. On top of that the service is very attentive, caring and polite. Just go there yourself and see if... More

The amazing apple pancake is their signature dish. Flavors of other food also good. Wide top coffee cups makes keeping coffee hot difficult.

I am now overwhelmed with the pretentiousness and snotty wait staff...if you want to be Lou Mitchell's you have a lot to learn about making breakfast classics. Overall it is average but overpriced. The creamer for the coffee was curdled and they acted like replacing it was asking for gold. The syrup is not real maple syrup and the orange... More

Great breakfast, lunch or even dinner neighborhood restaurant. Prices are reasonable, great wait staff and food is consistently good. Specialty is the apple pancake. They now have frozen ones available to take home. Great place to meet friends since seating is comfortable and private.

We have been Walker Bros. fans for 30 years. The Wilmette location was must do when we were home for college or had friends visiting. While they are known for their gigantic apple pancakes and dutch babies, I am a fan of their incredible banana pancakes. Served with a warm cointreau syrup, they are hard to beat. My kids love...

You have to try this place. We stood in line for over 20 mins but it was worth it for the great breakfast and coffee!

Pancakes and eggs like Mom would make. Especially liked the crispy bacon; great service and really great coffee - what else do you need?
